The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued a new Provider Information Notice (PIN) regarding the process for requesting waivers for multiple facilities owned by the same licensee. The PIN allows licensees to submit a single waiver request for multiple facilities instead of submitting multiple requests for individual facilities. The waiver request must be in writing and include the facility names and numbers, the regulatory requirement subject to the waiver, and substantiating evidence supporting the request. The requested alternative must ensure safe and adequate services. Licensees will receive one approval or denial letter from the Department by mail, and a copy of the approval letter should be kept on file at all approved facilities. Any questions regarding the PIN should be directed to the Adult and Senior Care Regional Office.
